skyscrapers

This is the 5th skyscrapers I’ve posted here, but it’s still the first variationless one. As I hinted last week, this week I’ll be posting my first variationless puzzles in five puzzles that I have made a lot of. I partially just want to prove to myself that I don’t have to rely on making crazy/obscure variations to make a puzzle fun.

Anyways, I can’t believe how beautiful and this symmetric this pattern of givens came out to be.

This is a Friday skyscrapers puzzle, however, the numbers {1,2,3,4,5,6,7} have been replaced with the letters {K,N,I,G,H,T,S}, in some order. No two letters can represent the same number, and each letter represents the same number in everywhere that it appears.

The text, reading “THIS IS INSIGHT ISN’T IT” refers to a “vision” themed test of puzzles (which would’ve been called “InSight”) I had been once planning on making, but decided against it. The puzzles from this week were all vision themed puzzles that I had made for it.

This is the last day of outside givens, and be warned this one is VERY TOUGH! Definitely should not be the first skyscrapers, and probably shouldn’t be the first on my blog you do unless you want a real challenge!

Warnings aside, this is a Friday skyscapers puzzle with a twist, no two buildings of consecutive heights may be placed in adjacent boxes. (so for example, no 3 may be placed in a square touching a side with a square with a 4 in it)

You also have probably noticed, Friday does not necessarily mean that i post it on Friday, it just mean 5th of the week, so you get an idea of the difficulty.

As I recently told you, I was at my brother’s wedding. This puzzle is for him (Daniel) and his new wife (Ann). Good luck!

This is a Wednesday skyscrapers puzzle, but in order to solve it, you must first replace every letter from the set {D,E,N,I,A,L} with a DIFFERENT integer from 1 to 6, (so for example, D might be replaced by a 1 every time a D appears and no other letter could be replaced by a 1.

Hi!
This blog ideally has 5 puzzles which all belong to some theme, every other week, although, this won't always be true. The first puzzles I post each week are called Monday and they go to Friday, regardless of the day I actually post them. The day ratings also reflect the puzzles' difficulties. The first block of text in each post will be the only necessary information to solve the puzzle, just like the first block of text of this read-me is the only necessary information to use this blog, so feel free to skip the rest of my posts/read-me if you want to.

So, about me: I am a student from USA, and I've liked making and solving puzzles for the past 3 or 4 years. I also like math a ton. Other interests of mine are linguistics and puns! Okay, that's enough for now.
